LETTER from the Head of Photography During my childhood, my dream was to be a researcher and a scientist, experimenting and figuring things out.

I wanted to be the subject of what was talked about on the news. But as I grew older, I realised that it was more important to me to share the news. This took the form of photography. I remember the moment I fell in love with photography; I was 8 years old and my parents and I were on a guided expedition in the Sinharaja rainforest of Sri Lanka.

We were exploring the amazing wildlife and I had borrowed the forgotten family camera to document. We stumbled upon a small snake by the edge of a stream and I somehow overcame my extreme fear of snakes, to achieve this image of the beautiful but terrifying snake. My dad had to hold me by the edge of the stream, so I could get a close up but also so that he could quickly carry me away if the snake reacted. I remember how proud I was after that.

Zoe wishes to take a gap year to explore the world after finishing the IB. She is then considering on studying communication or geography and geoinformatics. Perhaps national geographic will hire her, who knows?

�We live in a beautiful world�- Coldplay

Photography to me, is an exquisite method of communication. It is a way of capturing a memory or moment that tells a story or expresses a feeling.

This, I think, is almost like time travel; you can re-live a moment that encompassess the feelings or thoughts experienced in that particular moment.

This, among other reasons, is why it is my great honour and pride to carry the title of the Head of Photography for the Bigmonitor.To be surrounded by the group of creatively talented, dedicated, high spirited and motivated individuals that are the press team, is equally as rewarding and inspiring.

A free environment of creative innovation through visual mediums, is precisely the aspect that categorise our generation and exactly what the future will demand.

Who do you look up to?

We all have our idols and inspirations in life, and those we look up to speak volumes on our individual values and dreams. Amongst the diversity of BIGMUN, we asked people to tell us a bit about the most inspiring person they could recall.

Here are their answers.

By SofiĂŠ Ruderman Rasmus Grabov, Marie Kruses Gymnasium, Denmark

Harvey Spector from the TV-show Suits. He has an amazing taste in suits, he understands

Etyen Segal, Sotogrande International School, Spain

Rishi Mukkamala, Birkerød Gymnasium, Denmark

Putin. I am Russian.

And I think Putin is a really good leader and I love his judgement and his contribution to Russia.

Gandhi, because he liberated my country and he managed to do it peacefully.

Vladislav Dogolf, Sotogrande International School, Spain

Marcus Bobenger, Leonard Wagner Gymnasium, Germany

I could say myself, because I would rather make my own path than follow someone else's.

Martin Sonneborn. He is a German politician who is doing satire, which is kinda cool. That is why I look up to him.

Atash Farahani, Copenhagen International School, Denmark

Dele Alli, because despite his massive temper, he is still a great football player.

Bjørk Sørensen, Birkerød Gymnasium, Denmark

Beyoncé, because she is a human rights activist, she supports all genders and sexual identities, and she is a feminist. Plus she has inspiring music.

Linnea, Rysensteen Gymnasium, Denmark

Mary Williamson. I mostly look up to writers. She was one of the first feminists in fighting against the whole system of women being told that they were sort of nothing but pretty faces and I really admire her.

My sister, Signe Jessen. Because she does everything that I want to do.

Medea

Iben Sørensen

Kent Denver, USA

Michelle Obama. I think she is really an inspiration to a lot of people. She works really hard to promote fitness and self confidence and so many ideals of what a first lady should be like. I think she is one of America's greatest first ladies to be honest. I think she is just an inspiration to so many people, just to embody what a strong, classy woman is.

Obama (or Michelle or the whole family). They are all great. They inspire kindness and wisdom. It is not just about their money and power. It is about doing something with that, which obviously Trump is not doing. I mean he is. But just not the right things.

BIGMUN Celebrates Big

By Laura Hvid-Hansen

A

s the clock hits 17:00, the school empties, the staff takes on the next challenge of preparing the school, yet for something quite different from the formal conference rooms they are used to. Tables are rearranged and beclothed, chairs are put out, food is set up, plates and cutlery placed, and within an hour the school is ready for the celebration of a week’s hard work and new experiences.

Little by little the entryway is filled up with excited delegates, switched from formal attire to relaxed clothes, yet still ready to impress.

The bouncers go through the line, group by group, and the canteen is filled with the participators of BIGMUN, ready for the feast to come.

As they enter the room, they are met with the large trays of gorgeously coloured food, arranged side by side. The mood is elevated and the chatter soars, as the tables are occupied. The food is soon devoured, the excited delegates becoming louder by the minute. The room slowly begins to empty out, more and more vacant spots found around the large room, as the delegates move downstairs.

Group by group, the excited delegates descend the stairs to the evening festivities. Sitting at tables, standing in the small halls, dancing on the dancefloor, or lounging in the couches in the corner, the delegates demonstrate the unique and new friendships founded at BIGMUN 2017. With the competition of limbo filling the first two hours, the room takes on another purpose, contrasting the debates and agreements of the committees. Even the teachers begin to enjoy the release from the stress of BIGMUN, joining everyone else on the dancefloor. The hard work of the week begins to slip to the back of the heads, and the enjoyment begins to loud music and pleasant conversation.

As the light slowly begins a less bright sequence, the dancefloor soon empties. The lounge areas of relaxation are soon filled up, and the quiet buzz of conversation fills the room, as the people of BIGMUN realise the extent of the tiresome work at BIGMUN. A few rise, after a call from a mother and father, stating “My mom is here, let’s go”. A few more after a close peep at the screen, stating they have to catch the last bus. The room empties, the music is lowered to a low melody in the background, the lights are turned on, and unnoticedly the staff members takes the places of the delegates. The press members that had enjoyed a few moments of bliss without the threat of a failing printer hanging over their head, return to the stuffy room, to put the last minute details on print. Thus as the rooms are cleaned up, the printer on repeat with the tired Head of Press overviewing, the BIGMUN 2017 party is over.

Those very same people look forward to the last day at BIGMUN tomorrow, at which the last moments of debate and cooperation will take place. Though the delegates will soon be separated across 3 continents and 8 countries, the friendship will remain from the hard work of BIGMUN 2017.

Sitting at tables, standing in the small halls, dancing on the dancefloor, or lounging in the couches in the corner, the delegates demonstrate the unique and new friendships founded at BIGMUN 2017.

Parisian High Schoolers Outraged

by Police Brutality A young black man, stopped on the streets of France on February second, has sparked protests in sixteen schools all over Paris. The man, by the name of Theo, was allegedly beaten up by police officers and later raped with a truncheon.

A Student Made Protest A young black man, stopped on the streets of France on February second, has sparked protests in sixteen schools all over Paris.

The man, by the name of Theo, was allegedly beaten up by police officers and later raped with a truncheon. So far, four police officers have been suspended, and are pending an inquiry. This incident sparked fury among Parisian high schoolers, and started their protest against the police by setting fire to bins at the Place de la Nation. The protesters also gathered outside of sixteen different high schools in Paris, blocking the entrance with self made barricades, consisting of bins and fence. This prevented both teachers and students from entering the schools.

A small number of protesters were arrested, as the protests were deemed “unlawful,” since they had not gotten prior permission to demonstrate. A small number of protesters were arrested, and the police fired tear gas and charged at some of - 10

Family Support The sister of Theo, the man who was allegedly raped by the police, spoke to BBC news about the incident.

The sister, named Eleanor, has said there will be further violence until justice is done. She told BBC news “I was afraid. I was afraid to see how he is and what they had done.”

She also told the the news that Theo was dragged behind a building so that the CCTV cameras in the area would not catch the act on video, proving that the police knew what they were doing was against the law.

The French president, Francois Hollande, visited Theo in the hospital last week to condole him and show support for the cause.

up for themselves about matters that are important and unjust.

Male rape cases are rarely seen, and we sometimes forget that it happens. However, it is important to shed light on it and remember that it is a reality for over 2 million men in the US alone every year. At the moment, everyone involved in the demonstration is hoping that the police will get the sentencing they deserve, and that Theo will have a quick recovery.

“If not, there will be more anger, for sure,” Eleanor says. For now, we can only hope that Theo gets the justice he deserves and that we will see no incidents like this in the future.

Justice for Theo?

Column of the day:

Have we outgrown the age old mindset on clothing?

Photo by: Josefine Bjerre Lyndgaard

By Juan Carlos Harquet Briones Dress codes have been part of our society since the days of old.

They are meant to portray all kinds of things, such as formality, creativity or even individuality.

Much like the monkey suit you wear now, the clothing you wear everyday is a uniform. A uniform picked by yourself that represents the kind of person you are, what you are into and even your income.

However, BIGMUN has eliminated individuality on it is entirety by imposing these dress codes. This is not necessarily bad, as the event is not about individuality. You are not in your committee representing your interests at the end of the day. So the only “real” argument against dress codes is out of the equation in this context.

With that said, there is no real disadvantage to the dress code BIGMUN imposes.

You most likely do not know this, or even notice it, but you are acting more team-oriented, and your abstract cognitive processing skills have been significantly boosted by the psychological effects of the monkey suit. Not only this but you are also rid of any superiority feelings you might have towards your peers as you now perceive them as equals.

Truthfully, even after all my reading on statistics showed no downsides on the uncomfortable movement-limiting attire I am wearing now. I am still against the suits, I am against the mentality we have towards clothing in general.

The boost in performance is all in your head. And it is only there because of the stigma the suit carries, a stigma that we have fed since the roman times. When will we get rid of this mentality? I do not need to be wearing the same clothing as my co-workers to have the same mentality. I do not need to my productivity increased by some false sense of security. If we had not endorsed the mentality since the dawn of time the stigma would not exist in the first place.

But is it too late to give up the mentality that we need to be dressed to fit the stage we are portraying our character in? I think not. However one cannot give up the mentality through a campaign that “bans” clothing enforcement.

It is only a matter of time before the jock realises all people are different, and so he does not need to pay mind to what the emos wearing. He will realise that, no matter what the differences between each other are, they can still work together as a team, utilising their brains at their maximum capacity.

These concepts of “formal” “casual” “serious” and “creative” wear all need a serious overhaul in my opinion. It is about time we recognise that embracing one’s individuality can be beneficial as well.

A hivemind is effective sure, but we do not need to dress like monkeys to be part of said hivemind.

The hivemind effect also has its downsides. Imagine how many angles a team misses if they all think the same? I have an analogy for that: imagine that we are all a band. This band is composed of guitars only, guitars with the same rhythm and tune. They play at the same time and provide the same sound to their crowd. In that case, would it not be the same as having one guitar with a huge speaker?

By adding more instruments to the band, you give it more depth, more complex sounds and you get a better musical result. I believe it works the same way with a team; a team with more angles to attack will be overall more complete. I am positive though, I do believe that we are heading in a direction where these dress codes will begin to disappear.

For now though, we have to abide by them and accept their advantages, and at the same time acknowledge they are only in our heads.

You met the BIG7, now you get to meet the SMALL3

By Emma Drostby

You all know everything there is to know about the BIG7, but what about the self-proclaimed unsung heroes of BIGMUN?

A

bhishek Patil, Kasper Falkensteen and Simon Breinholt, have been running BG’s MUN society since the beginning of the year, which essentially means that they are the directors and trainers of Birkerød Gymnasium’s delegates. I sat down with these three musketeers and discussed everything from BIGMUN to bromance.

These young men have a bond best described as “ionic” by Simon because “it’s strong, it’s common and it puts opposites together.”

The genuinity of their friendship was emphasised, as they were being reluctant to select favourites among the trio. Sparking loud laughter among the group, Kasper mentioned that if he had to take a SMALL3 member with him on a deserted island he would take Abhishek “because he’s smaller, I mean you you can put him in a box, transport him.” Poking fun at Abhishek, Simon said, “I’ll take Kasper cause he’s white and won’t be taken from me in US customs.”

- 12

As Simon said, what makes their bond so great is their opposing cultures; Simon and Kasper are both from Denmark, and Abhishek is Indian. When talking to them, it was clear to see that their different personalities is what sparks this amazing banter. The different personalities were brought out when asked about which song they would have play every time they walked into a room; Simon went classic with the late George Michael’s Careless Whisper and Kasper showed his Danish side, stating he would have Se Mig Nu by Gulddreng play. Abhishek channeled his quirkiness by answering Juju On That Beat, to which he also knows the dance to.

If there is one thing that BIGMUN could not function without, it is the SMALL3; they create an environment of genuine entertainment.

We will for sure miss these three goofballs when the conference comes to an end, so make sure to appreciate their hilarious shenanigans!

If you had to marry another SMALL3 member, who would you marry?

Abishek: “I would marry Kasper because he has more experience with ladies.”

Kasper: “I would marry Simon so that we could all be married” Simon: “I would marry Abhishek cause, you know, he would cook me Indian food and besides, Kasper has a terrible sleep pattern.”

The Death of Compassion

Policy-making should be established partly on the basis of genuine empathy and compassion of other people.

”

”

Strictly speaking, politics is about preserving power, order and security. As such, the question of whether politics is able to walk hand in hand with compassion might be argued to be irrelevant, but it is both possible and necessary to have a certain degree of compassion when addressing human security needs. However, many of our politicians, on both sides of the spectrum, seem to have forgotten that.

It may appear like compassion is superfluous. Some would even argue that it is damaging to incorporate in the practice of governing, where tough decisions have to be made.

However, an over-reliance on an emotionless tone has percolated through it is assigned seat and created a callousness in the body of politics.

Nowadays, there is a shortcoming of considering affairs by their impact on human beings, rather than their implications on forthcoming polls.

Policy-making should be established partly on the basis of genuine empathy and compassion of other people, in spite of having the easy opportunity to opt for the decision to exercise inhumane and short-term practicalities.

Photo by: Audrey Fryman One obvious example that portrays this perfectly is the ongoing debate regarding the refugee crisis. Although some politicians have forgotten that compassion is the basis of our morality, which in turn is the foundation for policy-making, several politicians have firmly stood their ground. They have expressed disappointment with the out-of-sight, out-of-mind policy that certain parties seem to have adopted in the course of the increasingly steaming debate of the refugee crisis, stapling it as inhumane and impotent In all cases, statements such as these have unavoidably been branded as opportunist and a state of make-believe. This, if anything, demonstrates just how distant from the realm of basic human instincts this conflict has evolved into.

We do not have to look that far back into history to find evidence of compassion-led politics, that has added to the history books as well as our sense of self. These only occurred as the aftermath of courage acted upon basic human instincts.

When President Francois Hollande stood by his decision to uphold France as a “country of freedom” and

honour his commitment to accept refugees, the country has since served as one of the spearheads in terms of tackling the pressing issue of the refugee crisis. When former prime minister of Australia, Paul Keating, declared that the American people must own up to the disposition and oppression of the Aboriginal people, it was eventually labeled as a defining moment in Australian history. Moreover, it is with these kind of acts that a country reflects their modernness, openness and compassion upon the rest of the world.

Compassion allows for you to see the situation through the eyes of someone else. It lets you stop in your tracks and wonder what it would be like if you were the person in question. Although traits such as independence, high self-esteem and authority are vital for a good leader, characteristics such as empathy, humility and a value-driven approach are just as imperative. Likewise, a good delegate at MUN knows how to find a balance between representing their country and representing the UN as a tool for international co-operation.

Pressed Pressed for for Time Time

By Toby Van Waale

Photos by: Tut MacCormac

eep within the caverns of A14, there lies a room.

This room may be filled with a group of extreme coffee and cinnamon roll addicts. A team of hardworking button pushers working day and night to write up and publish the BIGMONITOR for your viewing pleasure. Or it could be filled with a maniacal group of highly advanced tech monkeys running rampant with laptops. Despite excellent management in all sectors, work is tough and strenuous.

Tick. Tock.

The room is mostly empty at 8pm.

A few tired and annoyed people are left, struggling with computers that slow down when trying to start anything but MS Paint. This is the layout team, or at least, the layout team that’s left. This is usually the longest job, as it relies on everyone else instead of just themselves. In this way, they have the worst role, but also the most fulfilling. You get to curate and finish off the paper each day, to create

- 16

your masterpiece and unleash it upon the world. All through this, time slowly ticks on.

If we rewind back about 2 hours, it is now 6pm. The room is about half full, with a small army of journalists painting their canvas of a story. This is a creative hivemind, with each decision being passed through a hierarchy of grammar-spotting eagle-eyed press members, and finally through the big bosses, Pauline and Emma, Head of Press and Editor in Chief.

Anything that is under quota gets filtered out and remade into something better. While it might seem easy, finding original content to create is difficult, because the press team gives its audience only the best that they can muster. Although the school is devoid of life aside from this one room at this time, the clicking of keys echo around the empty halls, they match up into a choir of clicks that drag on into the evening.

Now, wind it back to 5pm. The room is cramped and warm, with bare minimum space for people to sit. Chatter is all about, because at this point everyone wants to get everything done and leave. Most know the dread from being on last year’s press team, when people had to stay until 3am some days, and none want to replay that awful scene. All members of the press are here. The social media side, polishing and curating the multiple accounts they have to manage, with the photographers, filing and categorising the thousands of pictures they take everyday.

That morning at 9am, we see a group of people walking into A14. While they are tired, they get to see the fruits of their labour through yesterdays edition of the BIGMONITOR. And despite the work looming over them for the coming days, they shape up with a smile, and push on, determined to get work done and work done well.

Tick. Tock.

Dealing with an Apathetic Job

By Mads Hjerrild Hansen

Is the bouncer job the constant belittlement we have all come to know, or is there something else behind it?

As the sun sparkles the snow and gleams through the windows upon the abandoned, dusty hallway, sits the bouncer, ready to seize any potential intruding imposters. It is Friday morning, and the entrance to the BIGMUN conference is guarded by Daliah, a Birkerød Gymnasium student. Her previous burden as a student has now been temporarily removed, but has the replacement brought upon an even bigger one?

Daliah maintains focus and energy, a trait appropriate for a job like this. With a day filled with boredom and being pushed around by hotshot delegates, days must feel perpetual. Therefore, it is fair to assume that gains are limited, however, surprisingly, there are a few upsides.

In the echoing halls sits Daliah, “doing homework, Facebook, Instagram”, and as the conference seems to fly by for the delegates, time feels distorted from the bouncers’ perspective, as she is stuck in the same, daunting chair “from 8:30 AM to 5 PM”. As every second passes by, the silence starts to develop a periodic metronome, each second getting increasingly tedious. She “wanted to be a part of BIGMUN, it could be fun”, but as her tone reformed to regret, it was “not what [she] was hoping”.

She sits attentive to the questions being asked, while staying vigilant for trespassers. When questioned about her regret, she spontaneously replies, simultaneously smiling, “yeah, I sometimes want to be a delegate, it looks more fun than this. It is just annoying to have to get coffee for the delegates - feeling kind of slaved.” Staff members are frequently adjured by the demanding delegates, and is described as “strange” by the candid bouncer.

Despite the multiple drawbacks, the job of being a bouncer does have its benefits.

When asked about it, she humorously, but truthfully answers, “you do not have to go to school”. Furthermore, you have the Photo by Sophia Browm ability and authority to halt anyone without a badge.

Ending misconceptions about sex workers

By Aurora Squillace Woersaa - 18

The improvement of conditions for people working in the sex industry has recently become a crucial concern for the UN, and many other organisations aside. Sex workers are often looked down upon, discriminated and face numerous risks on a daily basis. Among these, are violence, abuse, rape and sexually transmitted diseases. Not that any other person is immune to these dangers, but sex workers are more exposed to them than the rest of the population.

T

he sex industry is surrounded by a criminal stigma and often forces sex workers to live and work on a thin boundary between legality and illegality.

The workers are not always given sufficient aid and protection and are often impeded from getting the help they might need, it be the police’s assistance or any healthcare, particularly important in this environment because of the higher risk of contracting HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.

Therefore, the primary objectives that the UN has tried to work towards are the eradication of the many prejudicial views damaging the sex industry, its depenalisation and the recognition of the sex industry as equal to any other.

This would ensure that the same rights and benefits guaranteed to any employee would also be guaranteed to sex workers, often considered to be on a lower level and referred to with derogatory

with the silent judgement implying that, had they chosen a different, more respectable path, they would not find themselves in this awful situation.

Thierry Schaffauser, sex worker and president of the GMB-IUSW (International Union of Sex Workers), Adult Entertainment Branch, summarises the many prejudices and misconceptions surrounding the profession of sex workers with the term “whorephobia”. Whorephobia, in his words, refers to the paternalistic attitudes that deem sex workers a public nuisance, spreaders of disease, offenders against decency or unskilled victims who don't know what is right for them and who need to be rescued. The betterment of the sex industry would certainly contribute to erase these preconceptions and give more dignity to a job that is not less than any and demonising terms such as other. Moreover, the legalisation “hooker” or “prostitute”. of it would ensure that the sex A business that provides services workers are never “victims” who of sexual nature and one selling are forced to sell their body and any other service should not be considered of different value. The sexual performance, because they mere existence of sex workers pro- do not know anything better and ves that theirs is a service required have to do it to make a living.

This conception of sex workers by society as much as any other. as “second class people” could be The fact that the service offered ascribed, although it is not the is the performance of a sexual only reason, to the giant taboo act should not be a valid reason that still lingers over sex, still seen to stigmatise its workers and as dirty, wrong, and indecent. not allow them recognition, fair Sex is a natural drive that almost treatment and complete security.

Unfortunately, this is not the case, all humans experience and enjoy, yet it is still regarded as a topic and sex workers are often not githat cannot be openly discussed ven the same basic right to safety and handled.

If it is such a natural thing, and some people are willing to pay they would immediately be able for it, why should providers of this to seek help and, in case, press service, whom just commercialicharges.
